What about* the immediate future?

In the 1960’s: ‘Borrowing freely from the opposite sex, unisex fashions came into vogue by the end of the 1960’s. Women often adopted such masculine attire as military surplus and work clothes and the stylish male has long hair, wore “mod” suits, carried a pocketbook, wore jewel[le]ry, and used a wide variety of cosmetics. By the 1980’s, however, there was a return to traditional elegance and classical styling.’*** 1984 is 64C.

The phrasing of this E[ncyclopaedia] B[ritannica] piece suggests the unifying tendency# more strongly than I had seen it. I suppose if you read a relative lack of masculine assertion in the 1960’s (compared to the 1890’s/1900’s), we might get away with a similar lack of m[asculine] a[ssertion] in the 1990’s (compared to the 1920’s/1930’s) – whether or not this is due to increasing contra-rotation and the unifying influence of 2048C. I hope we shall, anyway.
